Community Project Updates

We wanted to share a few updates on projects taking place throughout the community.

Sidewalk Repairs (Phase 2)
The next phase of sidewalk repairs is now underway. You may notice sections of sidewalk being removed and replaced over the next few days. Please use caution around active work areas and follow any temporary signage or barriers while crews complete the repairs.

Parkway Pool Sun Shade
The sail shade at the Parkway Pool was damaged during last week's windstorm and has been removed for safety. We know many residents enjoy the additional shade during the summer months, and we are currently evaluating replacement options. We appreciate your patience while we work toward a solution.

Roundabout Pergola
If you've driven through the community recently, you may have noticed work continuing on the pergola at the Walnut Creek Parkway roundabout. The staining process is now underway, marking another step toward completing the project. Thank you for your patience throughout the reconstruction process.

As always, thank you for your patience as these projects move forward. We appreciate everyone's cooperation as we continue investing in the upkeep and appearance of our community.

Sincerely,
The Residential Board of Directors

Fourth of July Reminder - Fireworks in Walnut Creek

As we get ready to celebrate Independence Day, the Residential HOA Board would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable
Fourth of July!

We know fireworks are a favorite holiday tradition for many families. As a friendly reminder, the discharge of fireworks within
Walnut Creek is prohibited under our Declaration of Covenants unless specifically licensed by the Association.

This policy is in place for several important reasons. Fireworks can be disruptive to neighbors, young children, veterans, pets, and
others who may be sensitive to loud noises. They also present a risk of injury, property damage, and fires.

This year, those concerns are even greater as Lancaster County continues to experience drought conditions. Dry vegetation can
allow even small sparks or embers to spread quickly. Many residents may also remember that in 2023, fireworks ignited a fire in one of our HOA common areas, requiring the Fire Department to respond.

We appreciate everyone's help in keeping our neighborhood safe while allowing all residents to enjoy the holiday weekend.

For reference, the Walnut Creek Declaration of Covenants includes the following provisions:

Exhibit B
(c) Fi****ms; Fireworks
The use and discharge of fi****ms within the Community is prohibited. The term "fi****ms" includes BB guns, pellet guns, and
other fi****ms of all types, regardless of size. The use and discharge of fireworks is prohibited except by license granted by the
Association.

(d) Nuisances
No Owner shall engage in any activity that constitutes a nuisance or results in unreasonable levels of sound or light pollution within
the Community.

(i) Quiet Enjoyment
Nothing shall be done or maintained on any Lot that creates noise or other conditions that disturb the peace, quiet, safety, comfort,
or serenity of neighboring residents.

Thank you for helping make Walnut Creek a safe, respectful, and enjoyable community for everyone.

Happy Fourth of July!

Sincerely,
The Residential Board of Directors

UPDATE: REPAVING PROJECT ON CARRINGTON DRIVE DELAYED UNTIL JUNE 22 (ENDING JUNE 26)

The Lancaster County Public Works Department just informed the HOA today that they need to reschedule the repaving of the section of Carrington Drive from Beckstead Ct up to the bridge on Carrington.

Milling will now begin this Monday, June 22nd. Asphalt will be applied after milling is complete. This project will be completed on Friday, June 26th.

During this time period, there will be no parking along this section of Carrington Drive. Additionally, if your home is along this section, any curb ramps installed at the end of your driveway must be removed until this project is complete.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding while this much needed work is being done.

Pergola Rebuild Project Begins June 4

We wanted to provide an update regarding the pergola located at the community roundabout by Walnut Creek Park.

Construction of the new pergola is scheduled to begin on Thursday, June 4. The contractor will first install the structural framing using pressure treated lumber. As part of the construction process, the lumber must be allowed to dry and acclimate before stain or other finishing materials can be applied.

Residents may notice that the pergola appears unfinished for a period of time after the framing is installed. This is expected and is part of the normal construction process. The lumber will need approximately two weeks to properly dry and set before the finishing work can be completed.

We appreciate your patience as this project moves forward and look forward to restoring this community feature.

Sincerely,
The Residential Board of Directors

⚠ Pedestrian Pathway Closure Notice ⚠

Out of an abundance of caution, the pedestrian pathway connecting Livingston Dr and Spadefoot Ct has been temporarily closed.

During a recent evaluation, it was determined that the wooden bridge crossing the creek has experienced significant deterioration and now presents a safety concern. As a result, the bridge will be removed to eliminate any potential risk to residents.

The Board's immediate focus is addressing the safety concern by removing the existing structure. Longer term, we will evaluate potential options for rebuilding a pedestrian crossing and restoring connectivity between Livingston Dr and Spadefoot Ct. Any future replacement will require careful consideration of design, permitting, environmental requirements, and project costs.

We understand this closure may be an inconvenience for residents who regularly use the pathway and appreciate your patience as we work through both the immediate safety needs and potential long-term solutions.

Additional updates will be provided as information becomes available.

Sincerely,
The Residential Board of Directors

Friendly Community Reminder About Parking Consideration

We’d like to send a friendly reminder about parking throughout the community, as we’ve recently seen an increase in vehicles parked across driveways, blocking sidewalks, on grass curbs, and facing against the flow of traffic.

We understand why many homeowners prefer not to park on the street. No one wants to risk vehicle damage, and households with multiple drivers often have to manage the daily “car shuffle.” Those challenges are real, and we understand.

At the same time, we all share a responsibility to keep our streets, sidewalks, and common areas safe, accessible, and well maintained.

A few important reminders:

• Sidewalks must remain clear. Pedestrians, including children, parents with strollers, and neighbors out for a walk, should never be forced into the street because a vehicle is blocking the sidewalk.

• Please avoid parking on grass curbs. This damages community property and negatively impacts the overall appearance of the neighborhood.

• Park in the direction of traffic. Vehicles parked facing the wrong direction can create confusion and safety concerns, especially at night when headlights may appear to be from an oncoming vehicle.

For reference, these expectations are supported by the following:

• Walnut Creek Residential Use Restrictions (Section (p) – Vehicles and Parking): Vehicles may only be parked in garages, driveways, or other Board-approved areas.

• Federal ADA Requirements: Sidewalks must remain unobstructed and maintain a minimum clear width of 36 inches.

• South Carolina Code 56-5-2530: Parking on a sidewalk or blocking a public or private driveway is prohibited.

We also encourage residents to use their driveways whenever possible, provided sidewalks remain clear. If driveway space is available, using it helps keep our streets safer and easier to navigate for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation and for doing your part to keep Walnut Creek a great place to live.

Sincerely,
The Residential Board of Directors

Note - the residential HOA board meeting is next TUESDAY night at 6:30 PM due to the Memorial Day holiday. All residents encouraged and invited to attend.

IMPORTANT Drought Advisory from Lancaster Sewer and Water Authority to Local HOAs

April 16, 2026

The Catawba-Wateree Drought Management Advisory Group (CW-DMAG) announced today that extremely dry weather conditions have placed the Catawba-Wateree River Basin in Stage 1 of the group’s Low Inflow Protocol (LIP). As a result, voluntary water conservation is requested by all water users across the basin, including customers of the Lancaster County Water & Sewer District (LCWSD).

During drought, Duke Energy’s hydroelectric plants continue to operate but at reduced levels to preserve water storage in the lakes. Duke Energy is requesting lake neighbors who withdraw water from the Catawba-Wateree lakes for irrigation voluntarily limit watering to Tuesdays and Saturdays and only use the minimum amount of water necessary.

As a member of the Catawba-Wateree Water Management Group, Lancaster County Water & Sewer District (LCWSD) is required to implement its Incipient Drought Phase / CW DMAG Stage 1. Stage 1 is a drought stage that requires the first phase of voluntary reductions from LCWSD’s customers in the use of water for all purposes.

Specifically, the goal during Stage 1 is to achieve a reduction of 3-5% in overall water use. LCWSD customers are requested to follow conservation measures as follows:

Avoid lawn, garden or other heavy irrigation if possible. If you must water, please use the following schedule:

Even number addresses:
Tuesdays and Saturdays from 2 am until 10 am

Odd or un-numbered addresses:
Wednesdays and Sundays from 2 am until 10 am

Avoid non-essential uses such as refilling of pools and vehicle washing.

With golf cart season in full swing, it's important for owners to be aware of the laws governing their safe operation. In 2025, South Carolina passed legislation adding new restrictions on driving golf carts on public roads. https://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess126_2025-2026/bills/3292.htm

Please familiarize yourself with these legal requirements as outlined below by the SC Department of Public Safety.

(Note: Golf carts are not allowed on sidewalks in Walnut Creek.)
